The car search has begun (or: the car search continues unabated)
Readers, you know me and cars. You know I am nearly always in search of my next one. Save for the first month or so that my current car is in my possession, I am on a never ending quest to get more airbags, more speakers, and more air conditioned storage compartments (fun fact: the Jetta has two!)
Well, since March marks the 1 year to go mark with my current lease, we are hitting a fever pitch! I’ve been steadily reviewing the offerings of both Japan and Germany, trying my damnedest to narrow down the options. So far, I’ve been doing a very good job, but for some reason, I seem to have hit a wall.
Therefore, my loyal friends, I turn to you for your thoughts and opinions. I will present you with the options and you can comment. It’s a very easy game, you see. Perhaps I’ll make this a monthly thing (as you see, dear readers, the automakers are even more dedicated to confusing me as I am to unraveling their product lines and are always expanding.)
To make it easier, I am breaking down by country of (supposed) origin:
- Japan
- 2008 Acura TSX – $29,570
- 2008 Honda Accord EX-L Sedan – $29,517
- 2008 Nissan Altima 2.5 SE Coupe – $31,395
- Germany
- 2008 BMW 128i Coupe – $32,385
- 2008 Audi A3 2.0T – $31,860
- 2008 Audi A4 2.0T – $32,175
- 2008 Volkswagen Passat Komfort – $29,647
You see my predicament. So many sexy choices but only one can come home to live with me. 🙁
go with the nissan. if it’s anything like my dad’s old trucks, it will run FOREVER!
but then again, you’ll be car shopping a month after you lease it anyway…
Too right!
I say BMW! Seriously, how hot would you look driving around in that?? An Audi would be sexy, too, but the BMW just says to the world, “I’m so much better than you.”
